A cast copper rotor induction motor for small commercial EV traction: Electromagnetic design, analysis, and experimental tests

According to the demands of the small commercial electric vehicle (EV) traction driving system, an 18kW inverter-driven induction motor (IM) with a die-casting copper squirrel cage rotor for traction drive was designed and evaluated. The 2D finite element model of the designed IM was built by consid...
